Can women wear jewlery around the ankle, like a chain?
Question
I heard from someone that its forbidden in islam as during the prohets time, prostitutes should wear a chain around the ankle to indicate that they were prostitutes.
Answer
A woman may adorn herself with jewellery as she wish, around the neck, ears, hands as well as around legs. However, if wearing jewellery is a salient feature of any religion or custom, she should not imitate them.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
